At sixty-one, George Hall is settling down to a comfortable retirement. When his tempestuous daughter, Katie, announces that she is getting married to the deeply inappropriate Ray, the Hall family is thrown into a tizzy. Unnoticed in the uproar, George discovers a sinister lesion on his hip, and quietly begins to lose his mind. As parents and children fall apart and come together, Haddon paints a disturbing yet amusing portrait of a dignified man trying to go insane politely. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA \u003ci\u003eWashington Post \u003c\/i\u003eBest Book of the Year\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/14\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780307278869\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.96h x 5.24w x 0.82d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/09\/2007 pg. 36\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Mark Haddon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42924829474997,"sku":"9780307278869","price":14.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_48e7891b-6acd-424b-b33e-bce27c877e64.jpg?v=1687839207","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/a-spot-of-bother-9780307278869","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
